Is this process really on going>? Can we overclock the GPU chip (PowerVR SGX) on n900.

This is interesting! i don't understand gpu clock adjusting is not found yet.
Higher clock would be nice when the device is getting older by day.
Hope we can shortly!

maybe we can use the dsp+gpu for gaming ?

Even if you allow the GPU to run at say 400MHz, there would only be slight performance difference. We're BANDWIDTH limited here.
Also, Hummingbird is NOT A8.5.
Thread of epic facepalm proportions.

I knew the TI 3440 was about 14% slower than Nexus One's QSD for most things, like in normal usage.
But I had no idea, the Droid X had closed the gap and superseded it by THAT much!
I wonder how much does the Galaxy S best the Droid X?
I have a feeling it should be a lot more since it is using Hummingbird@1GHz (Cortex A8.5) and the newer PowerVr chip.

Any possibility of a GPU overclock? It's the only thing untouched in clock speed so far

There has been a lot of work done to improve the DSP functionality (720p etc.) but as far as I know, the GPU still doesn't do all the things it's supposed to. If this is correct, then rather than trying to overclock, perhaps the empasis should be on operation?
If anyone reading this can offer a proper explanation of the difference between the role of the GPU and the role of the DSP in the N900 and whether a "fix" for the GPU/drivers would actually improve the device, it would be appreciated. My confusion is because I thought all graphics were handled by the GPU but a lot seems to be done by the DSP.

There is no such thing as Cortex A8.5 I used that point to illustrate the Exynos 3110/Hummingbird S5PC110 superiority compared to the first-gen QSD Snapdragon.
The Exynos can run at 1.3GHz (much faster) and still use less battery than a 1GHz QSD, I know because I made the comparison (Desire vs SGS)

does overclocking gpu have effects in multimedia(like increasing quality of photo/making it to play more 720p videos)?? or does it only increase gaming graphics??

Having the graphics chip run at a higher clock speed is absolutely going to make a difference though. Who doesn't want faster tearing? : )
